My Red Q2200 is a great rig but as all newer Q2200s they heat up slowly and not hot enough. I decided to upgrade to a larger regulator. Found a regulator at Ace Hardware with 22" hose. It's a perfect length. Next I needed an adapter to attach the hose to the grill valve. There is a one piece option made by Fairview (Part # 46-6A). It is very difficult to get so I went for the two piece option. I went to Lowe's and got these...
They worked out great. I sealed the threads with a little bit of yellow gas tape.
Other options for these parts are...
Watts- LFA-182, LFA-734
Brass Craft- 48-6-4X, 119-4-2X
Ace Hardware- 450235, 4501631
Here are pics of the parts installed...
Here I'm holding the old regulator for size comparison.
Now it heats faster and hotter. Just what I wanted. It's a great upgrade and a fun project. Glad I did it.
